Akindele, who produced the highest-grossing Nollywood movie in the Box Office, ‘A Tribe Called Judah,’ revealed this in an interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos.

She disclosed that her mother instilled in her the notion that failure is an integral part of the journey to success.

Akindele emphasized her approach to marriage, stating that she takes it in stride, prioritizing her mental well-being and career.

She underscored her commitment to leading a purposeful life and being a pillar for her children and siblings.

Reflecting on her experiences, she expressed, “If you ask me now to pinpoint a failure, I don’t view it as such. My personal life, including marriage, is something I take as it comes. My mental health holds great importance. My career is a significant aspect, dear. I aim to make an impact, empower others, and inspire the younger generation. I need to stay resilient for my children and siblings. I have a purpose for living, so my head remains high. Yes, I may cry, I may break down, but after shedding those tears, I simply look in the mirror and say, ‘Keep moving.'”
